Fw: Windows 2000 breaks the samba client

[John Kerbawy]

| Guys:
| 
| It appears the release of Windows 2000 has broken SMBFS 2.0.6 distributed with samba. This is a major problem. When I try to list and mount shares on Windows 2000 computer from a Linux box running SMBFS and Samba, I get no share listings. This box currently connects to a NT, 98 and Linux samba server. Something is very, very wrong. Apparently I am not having a unique problem because there are several postings on USENET that confirm the bug... not sure if it is sambas problem or 2000's.... 

I have Windows 2000 Professional working just fine with OpenBSD 2.6 and
Samba 2.0.6. I am using unencrypted password authentication after applying
the Windows 2000 registry patch that comes with Samba.
